buggy CPU usage by 'monitor' cameras

Post by bobbozzo »

Hi, while adding a second camera in 'monitor' mode, I noticed a few issues:

1. extra CPU is consumed (by ZMC) for this monitor even when not being viewed.
(maybe this is normal?)

2. If I disable the monitor (click on the function column and uncheck 'enabled'), the CPU usage (by ZMC) remains and a network sniffer (IPTraf) still shows full traffic between zoneminder and the camera

It appears that the only way to actually disable the CPU & bandwidth usage is to set the mode function to 'none'.

I'm running the zoneminder rpm from Fedora's Yum repo (1.24.2-3.fc12) on Fedora 12 32-bit, on an Intel P4 w HT.

Thanks,
Bob
